Nice lot. Any one local to you have a darkroom? Postage would be a killer, but they would sell.
Im moving to the country and will be transitioning to just RC (water is scarce) otherwise Id be interested.

I never would have thought about contact printing a single 6x6 frame.
Part of me wants a couple of the smaller items just for shelf dressing photographica but I fear shipping from NZ would be prohibitive.

Are you in Seattle? If so, and you make it down to Portland sometime, let me know. I can show you some mounted contact prints from negatives ranging from half-frame 35mm all the way through 6x17 that might make you rethink everything. (4x5 as well, but I’m only talking about roll film here).

OK, this is just a kind reminder that we try to keep anything that reads as a subtle 'can someone take this off my hands in exchange for some money' within the Classifieds section of our forum. You could consider posting an ad there, but please keep in mind it takes a (paid) Subscriber account to be able to post there.

Nice info everyone, thanks! I think we have a few locals here in the NZ group so will post there as well. I'll go through these and separate the ones that are factory sealed. I can wire up an old safelight and verify there is actually unexposed paper in the rest. I could list some here but the shipping costs might be scary (probably more than the item cost)

More items found:

Ya'll see anything special? The AGFA plates are unopened and look quite old, I think 1916-1921 from what I can see.

I've decided to list them on the NZ version of ebay and will see what happens.

Will do. I guess I could simply try more contact printing myself as well. I've never given it a fair shake.

Sean, you know that it is an eBay requirement world wide that one open every box of photographic paper in daylight and expose each sheet individually to sun light, and then post a notice with the advert with photographs on the eBay post?
